Which characteristic of good leadership do you think is the most important? Why? (more than 100 words)

Courage!

Explanation:

Having courage is one of the greatest characteristics! Standing up for what is right in our society is really needed right now! Our world is made up of really  sick, and twisted people! Great leaders are chosen by the way they speak up for the vulnerable! Our leaders in this country are chosen because they have a great background, but also because they are not afraid of others and to speak the truth, even if it will cost them everything! The truth is not spoken about a lot because people are afraid of what others will think and lose fame or popularity! We should not base our decisions on those materialistic things in this world! Many of us don't like the truth and that is really sad and hurts many people!
